(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld could be out of action for two to four weeks, manager Jose Mourinho said on Wednesday, after the Portuguese initially feared the Belgium international had suffered a long-term injury.

Alderweireld sustained a groin injury in Spurs' 2-0 Premier League win over Manchester City last weekend and will miss Thursday's Europe League home game against Bulgarian side Ludogorets.

"Toby has a muscular injury but it is not as big as we initially thought," Mourinho told reporters before Thursday's Europa League Group J game."I would say between two and four weeks, and he will not be playing tomorrow. Defender Matt Doherty is back in training after missing the last match due to a positive COVID-19 test, while attacking midfielder Erik Lamela will sit out at least the next two games with an Achilles' problem.
